Its no good taking the piss out of Michael Jackson when your legacy is a load of landfill brit-pop shite and a decades worth of Peel session debris. Pulp were truly dreadful, just pumped up chancers who got lucky. The fifth form doggerel of JC on Common People is the apex of absolute shiteness. The Auteurs had already nailed it with The Upper Classes. Looking at this Mercury list makes me feel queasy and angry at how its nearly always the tossers that win in life.

Talentless chancers, yeah! Coming round here, punching our peados - who do they think they are? All those singles were rubbish weren't they? Disco 2000, Es & Whizz, Common People, Do You Remember the First Time, Babies - who likes those? A: No one! We only bought them to throw in the bin.

otmfm. had an argument in the pub about that last night - everyone lionises cocker for that dickhead stunt but it's like, c'mon son stack MJ's music up against JC's and there's only one possible winner, and it's not the man peddling trite ~social commentary~ that only seems smart cuz it was concurrent with fucking neanderthals like oasis
